Whitaker was confirmed a few years ago as a U.S. Attorney.

Wonder if that "qualifies" per Judge Nap ?

Nope, he resigned from that post in 2009. He would need to be a currently appointed member of the DOJ.

Citing the actual law might help you.

[Whitaker] was not confirmed by the United States Senate for a leadership position at the Justice Department. The White House will have to work
this out. Who has been confirmed and who’s next in line? Deputy attorney general Rosenstein,” he said.

You need to change your title
The actual words were "may not be..." (and by one person- an ex-NY Circuit Judge.)
May = might "Mite (might) is what grows on a chicken's a__"
You have as absolute dogma
Big No-no

Napolitano is consistently wrong on a wide range of issues. Been following his takes for a while and do not recall him ever being correct on a single
issue. I actually just ignore everything he says. Great gift of gab though on rules. Thing is nobody follows rules in DC. The only rule they follow is
breaking the rules for their side.

Interesting...both if this is accurate (and I have general faith in Judge Nappy to be correct), and that you still think that pointing out that the
Mueller investigation is overstepping its original intent is a "bias."

Thanks for the heads up on the former, though--gives me something to look into. Of course, if Whitaker can't be acting, then he shouldn't be
acting.

ETA: I especially like the Nancy Pelosi quote at the end of that article--using her logic, she should recuse herself from being a Representative,
since she has actively sought to destroy the integrity and functionality of the House.

On February 3, 2004, Matthew G. Whitaker was nominated by President George W. Bush to serve as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of
Iowa. Matt's nomination was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate on June 3, 2004, and he was sworn into office on June 15, 2004.

According to Fox News legal commentator Andrew Napolitano stated that Matt Whitiaker is not legally qualified to become the acting Attorney
General.

Napolitano, on "Fox & Friends," said Whitaker is not "legally qualified" to become acting attorney general.

"There’s only three ways a person can become acting attorney general," Napolitano said. "One, if you are the deputy attorney general — Rod
Rosenstein — the president signs an executive order and makes you acting."

"Two is if you are already in the Department of Justice and have a job that requires Senate confirmation and you have received confirmation,"
Napolitano added. "That is not the case with Matt Whitaker because he’s the chief of staff. That does not require Senate confirmation."

Whitaker's most recent post was chief of staff to Sessions at the Justice Department.

"Three is a recess appointment, which is not relevant here because the Senate is not in recess," Napolitano continued.

"So with deference and respect to what the president’s trying to do — he has every right to have whoever he wants run the Justice Department —
he has chosen someone who does not qualify under the law to be the acting attorney general," Napolitano added.

So in addition to the bias Whitaker has shown toward the Mueller investigation, he isn't even legally qualified for the job Trump appointed him to.
But who cares about laws?

Presidential Vacancies Act to serve up to 210 days

LOL 😆 no link with the quote I see 🚬💨

dare cite any law 🎃

Lol I did. Is he in the line of succession?

Nope,

Is he recess,..sited the act.

He can be appointed by the president with an EO.

How long are senate confirmations good for?

Are they good for any position?

It seems silly to have to confirm sessions or rosenstein since they were already us attorneys.
